Foundation
YMOM has been influential in positively impacting the lives of young men across the city of Milwaukee. Our organization is built on the foundation of God's Holy Word. Before there was YMOM Young Men On A Mission Inc., there was Bible Commandos.

YMOM understands that mentorship is the pathway that lights the way for young men.

Young men will accomplish the task before them with the help of : God, confidence in themselves, peers, mentors & others. (Endurance)

Young men will know that they are loved by God, by their peers, mentors and learn to love themselves. (Love)
Proverbs 9:9 AMP
Give Instruction to a wise man and he will become even wiser; Teach a righteous man and he will increase in learning.
MISSION

MOTTO
Our organization stands firmly on our motto: No matter the circumstance, we can't afford to lose one.™ What does this mean? It is YMOM's desire to see every one of our young men succeed in their life mission (purpose).
All I can say is God is good all the time. I can't ask for nothing more than what my baby got. I'm so grateful and so appreciative of his
coach/mentor and his wife for always being there from the beginning to the end. They've had my son's back and I'm just so happy I had them by my side because without them I wouldn't have a clue. Dennis Gaynor Jr. and Mrs. Gaynor I love you guys to the moon and back. I can't stress enough how much I appreciate you...
